• Do you want to feel truly good?
- Accept Yourself will help you overcome barriers to self-acceptance and learn daily practices that promote emotional healing.
We naturally feel compassion, a sense of warmth and understanding.
Although empathising with the child is easy, it can be hard to feel compassion towards ourselves.
Instead of accepting the self, we:
- beat ourselves up over mistakes,
- chastise ourselves for not sleeping well,
- fight with unwanted thoughts flitting through our minds,
- wrestle with traumatic memories,
- and get irritated by bodily aches and pains.
